O. H. HANSEN CONVEYER BUCKET Filed Feb. 15, 1922 JJI I holding thebucket in upright position, these weights 7 preferably being held inplace by the tie rods 6. The weights 7 may be of any suitable sizecommensurate with the general construction of the bucket. The bearingbushings 5 of the assembled bucket are preferably located in alinementwith each other thereby providing a pivotal supportfor the bucket. Thesebushings 5 may be formed by distortion of the metal of the end heads 3,4, but are preferably formed of wear reslsting material.

- It;-will be obvious that a conveyor bucket constructed as hereinillustrated .and described, may be manufactured in quantity. of sheetsteel and at minimum cost. The

bucket end heads 3, at and the body portion buckets and enablingeflicient cleaning thereof.-. The ent re structure is durable and simplein construction and efficient in operation, being especially suitablefor use in the canning industry.

a It shoull be understood that it is not desired to limit the inventionto, the exact details of construction herein shown and described, forobvious modifications within the scope of the claims may occur topersons skilled int-he. art.

It is claimed and desired to secure by Letters Patent i 1. A conveyerbucket comprising, laterally spaced sheet metal heads each distorted toform a projection extending toward the other head. and a sheet metalbody portion having anmner surface engaging said projections'.

2. A conveyer bucket comprising, laterally spaced sheet metal heads eachdistorted to form a projection extending toward the other head, a sheetmetal body portion engaging said projections, and a plurality of rodsconnecting said heads and said body portion.

3. A conveyer bucket comprising, a sheet metal end head distorted toform integral heads.

teeth bounded by a continuous ridge extending transversely of said head,a second sheet metal end head spaced laterally from said first mentionedhead, and a sheet metal body portion connecting said headsl 4. Aconveyer" bucket comprising, a sheet metal end head distorted to formintegral teeth bounded by a continuous ridge extending transversely ofsaid head, a second sheet metal end head spaced laterally from saidfirst mentioned head, a sheet metal body por tion between said'heads,and a plurality of rods uniting said heads andsaid body.

5. A conveyer bucket comprising-laterallyspaced sheet metal heads eachdistorted to form a projection extending toward the other head, one ofsaid heads being further distorted toform teeth bounded by a ridgeextending transversely of said head, and a body portion-engaging. saidprojections.

6. A conveyer bucket comprising, a pair of laterally spaced sheet metalheadseach distorted to form projections extending toward the other head,and a body portion 'engaging said projections.

7. A conveyer bucket comprising, a pair of laterally spaced'sheet metalheads each distorted to form projections extending toward the otherhead, a pair of tie rods con necting said heads, and a sheet metal'bodyportion engaging said projections and wrapped around said rods.

S. A conveyer bucket comprising, a pair .of laterally spaced sheet metalheadseach distorted to form projections extending toward the other headand each having a bearing bushing formed integral therewith andextending away from the other head, and a v body portion detachablyconnected to said 9. A conveyer bucket comprising, a. sheet metal endhead 'distorted'to form a laterally extending bounding ridge, a secondsheet met-a1 end head spaced laterally from said first mentioned head,said heads having integral projections extending toward each other, anda body portion engaging said projections. j i

10. A conveyer bucket comprising, an end head formed of sheet metal witha continuous bounding ridge extending laterally from one side thereofand a bucket body engaging projection extending from the opposite sidethereof. i V

In testimony whereof, the signature of the inventoris aflixed hereto.
